JESUS saved ME

The Story…

So… okay. I grew up in an awesome home where we kind of went to church, kind of didn’t. I basically went for social reasons, and that was just to Sunday School, we didn’t have a youth group or anything. My last couple of years in high school, I knew there was something attractive about the whole “church thing” – but my church at the time was stagnant, and didn’t reach out to students and share with them. (I can say with great joy that this church has turned around 100% and is now thriving with young families and students and I am so happy to hear that Christ is being preached there!) Anyway, so I went to church, longing for something – meaning, significance, truth – but didn’t find it there. That time I was like so called “MAFIA”, all bad things I done before, just name it.

Then 1999, I passed my upper six and went to university. There I was still continued with my bad attitudes, even sometimes I went to the church or followed church camp, In short I never charged.

Graduated 2003/04, I moved to KL/Shah Alam, my life jobs kept changing every 2-3 years, that time I was thinking, looking for big bucks. Year 2008, I found very good job, 5K++ salary, good position, but then I felt, there’s something went wrong, my life doesn’t Blessed, full of debt.

Slowly, I started talked to HIM, asked for His mercy. Then He sent me 1 person , he’s name Joseph Lim. He always shared with me about how good is Our GOD, JESUS.

Since then my life changed…….

I believed in God all my life, but for the first time I heard that He loved me and wanted to help me live a good, clean life. I wanted that more than anything but I knew I couldn’t stop what I was doing. But there was a restless hunger growing in my heart, a hunger to know God and be close to Him. I didn’t understand what I was feeling but it was pulling me to Him. The preacher said that all I needed to do is come to Jesus just like I was and He would do the work, that I couldn’t even if I wanted to. But I was so afraid of God. I didn’t want God to punish me. So with my old attitude of ‘I don’t have anything to lose so why not’,

I decided to have a conversation with God. I sat on the couch in the living room and told God I knew He was real; that I had always believed in Him. But I found it very hard to believe in Jesus. I thought it was a fairy tale that God had a Son who He sent here to die for me because I couldn’t get to Heaven on my own. I was a sinner and God can’t look on sin or be near it, so I couldn’t be near Him and I felt like I was in a hopeless situation. As I was sitting there thinking about this, I felt an urge to open the family Bible that was on the coffee table (as a decoration-not because it was used).

I had never read the Bible and never wanted to so I didn’t know where to start reading. So I just flipped it open. It rested on 1 John 5 and it said (I paraphrase) “If you believe in Me but don’t believe in the One that I sent, you are calling Me a liar”. My mouth fell open and I knew that God was somehow speaking to me through the Words of His book and I said, “God I would never call you a liar. If you will show me Jesus is real, I will believe”. I sat on the couch and cried for 3 hours and when I finished, I was a new person

I was so changed, so full of peace and joy. I felt so clean on the inside, I knew I would never do "MAFIA" things again. I knew that Jesus was real; I couldn’t tell you how I knew. Nothing had changed on the outside. But on the inside I knew and I was changed by that knowledge. He loved me, He died for me, and He was in Heaven rejoicing with the angels that I had decided to believe in Him. I knew I was going to have to finish my probation and face the future, but I wasn’t afraid anymore; for the first time in my life I was not afraid and it felt wonderful. Love welled up inside of me. I felt the peace and joy that Jesus had promised in His Word. I felt safe, really safe for the first time in my life.

Now, I been blessed by HIM, my debts getting lesser and lesser from 25k+++ now left only about 4k++ PRAISE TO THE LORD. I believe in Jesus name in short period of time these gonna be fully settled, credit cards dept now over after many years struggled for it.

The good new was, GOD answered our prayers. HALLELUIA!!! me and my wife now got our own Double Story House and got a good job, after many years we dream of it. The best thing, we can see our parents often after we left them alone many years. PRAISE TO THE LORD HIS's good GOD. - amen

Wish this testimony will encourage all readers. The most importance thing is put God 1st in our Life.

As He said; I am able to do more for you
than you could possibly imagine.
